The Pittsburgh Promise administers a scholarship program for graduates of The Pittsburgh Public Schools, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each graduate is eligible for a Promise Scholarship of up to $20,000 to pursue post-secondary education. The scholarship is provided as a gift rather than a loan, reflecting its aim to support an educated citizenry. The organization operates as a small entity within the higher education sector, focusing on graduates of The Pittsburgh Public Schools. It has pursued partnerships to broaden opportunities, including a partnership with the PPG Foundation established in 2022, and, in 2023, launched The Franco and Dana Harris Scholars Fund to expand support for scholars.
